Burn Your Cat Stevens Records!

I am so upset right now! I feel betrayed! I just found out that for years now Cat Stevens has been a Muslim! It's just so wrong to me! Here is a man who wrote such peaceful wonderful songs, and now he has joined such a hate-filled religion! I am just floored. He decided to turn his back on Jesus and embrace Muslimity. Muslimity doesn't allow him to sing any of his songs or play guitar or anything like that! He can only do the call to prayers and that song just gives me the creeps.And I heard that he was all behind that fatwa thing against that Rushdie guy. What ever happened to everyone climbing aboard the Peace Train? What happened to Tea for the Tillerman? While the sinners sin the children play??? HUH??? I guess now for Cat Steven or whatever mumbo-jumbo he is calling himself these days, the happy day will be when everyone is a Muslim and the streets run red with the blood of the non-believer. Oh Lord, how they play and play.Here's some new Cat Stevens lyrics, written by me to reflect his new mindset, to the tune of Where Do The Children Play.

Where Do The Tourists Play?Well I think it's fine Hi-jacking jumbo planesPlanting bombsOn commuter trainsStrap on explosivesYou're a bomb machineYes get what you want if you want toCuz you can bomb anythingI know we've come a long wayWe're recruiting every dayBut tell me where do the tourists play?Well you roll on roadsThat we've freshly minedFor your lorry loadsTo the oil pipelinesAnd you're armoured upAnd you think you're toughBut we just keep coming on and onAnd now it seems that you can't get outI know we've come a long wayWe're recruiting every dayBut tell me where do the tourists play?Well you own the skyYour bombers fill the airBut we'll keep control of the groundTill there's nothing left anywhereAnd we'll blow you upAnd we'll make you cryOur lives means nothing to usWe get lots of virgins when we dieI know we've come a long wayWe're recruiting every dayBut tell me where do the tourists play?

First, there is no such thing as "Muslimity." The religion is called Islam.

Second, Islam is not a religion of violence or hate, or at least not any more so than Christianity. The actions of a few fanatics do not reflect on the whole.

Your lyrics are islamophobic garbage that have nothing to do with the man or the religion. I suggest learning a thing or two about both.

Mainstream Christian conservatives (at least as much as Yusuf Islam) have also called for people to be killed. Does that make Christianity a religion of hate and violence? You have some nice double standards going and I think you need to reconcile them.

As for looking for a "solution" to immigration, its actually quite simple. Have the US stop fucking around in Latin American politics and economics. End the FTAA, NAFTA, AFTA, CAFTA and other such agreements. That might do wonders. Not that immigrants are a bad thing anyway.

You've got fucking cheek calling Islam a hateful religion. You subscribe to a religion with a bloody history of Crusades, Inquisitions, witch burnings, heresy trials, American colonial intolerance, disrespect of indegenous traditions (such as American Indians), support of slavery, and oppression of women.

It goes both ways. If "Islam" (as a religion) is to blame for every act of every violent minority within the group, then so is Christianity. By that logic, the Jewish holocaust was the fault of a murderous Christian religion.

Islam was spread by the sword. It was quite nasty. Although they did give women the right to divorce and to have a maid and her own money. But it also let men beat them (lightly!) and marry four other women!

And kill the infidel where you find him is kind of hateful...ask Cat Stevens he would have killed Rushdie! Every Muslim was under orders from Allah to do so!

If you think Islam is violent, read the Bible. Remember the bit about G-d encouraging people to dash babies against stones and all that? And remember, Jesus comes with the sword, to divide and cause strife. You'll find such violence in most Western religious texts, and quite a few Eastern ones as well. Humans are violent creatures it seems, as much as we try to hide it. So your criticisms make no sense.

As for the rest, you lack a historical context. Islam was at its time one of the most progressive religions and granted women and other groups far more liberties than they had previously held, not to mention it actually laying out a plan for helping the poor instead of paying lip service. The fundamentalist strain seen today in Islam (and Christianity!) is a reaction against modernization and industrialism and goes counter to what both religions truly represent. I'd say that within the next decades they will return to their progressive roots and follow the true spirit of the religion. So save your condemnations of whole religions.

Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam still writes music, and just released a new album. He just felt that his rockstar life didn't glorify God/Allah. So he quit. He now runs a very reputable private school for Muslim children in London.

You should check out his new stuff -- pretty good.

And don't listen to the sensationalist hype re: Rushdie. I remember when the fatwa was issued, and most Muslims thought the fatwa was the ranting of a madman. In truth, go back and read what Yusuf Islam actually said. His comments were aimed at Muslims who compain about blasphemous law -- in essence, he was saying, "If you want sharia law, then you'll have to do it in the proper democratic way, by electing MPs who support our views, not by fatwa."

You should learn about Islam. It has its faults, but you have just shown how ignorant you really are about the subject.

Joshua, perhaps you should learn the facts before shooting off your mouth.

These are some of the relevant quotes on Rushdie made by "Yusuf Islam" made at the time:

[Rather than go to a demonstration to burn an effigy of the author Salman Rushdie] I would have hoped that it'd be the real thing.[23]

[If Rushdie turned up at my doorstep looking for help] I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like. I'd try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is.[23]

In Islam there is a line between let's say freedom and the line which is then transgressed into immorality and irresponsibility and I think as far as this writer is concerned, unfortunately, he has been irresponsible with his freedom of speech. Salman Rushdie or indeed any writer who abuses the prophet, or indeed any prophet, under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death. It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.[24]

These quotes come from Wikipedia, you can go there and check them out for yourself.

It's getting cold outside, these park things are stupid anyway, no one will even notice you if you stay, they will be huddled and bundled up and only caring about not freezing to death as they try to make it back and forth from WORK. Hmmm. Anyway...

I have a better idea. I'm FULL of great ideas.

All of you buy cheap hundred dollar cars, don't register them, and drive them in a caravan to any city centre and just turn them off, forming gridlock.

Live in the cars. Toss the keys in the sewers. Let's see them clean up THAT mess.

Every city, all at the same time. That would be pretty awesome.

Actually, only block one side of the street, that way the city will be forced to CLOSE the other side for emergency vehicles, fire turcks, ambulances, that kinda thing.

I freaking hate Marineland. I hate zoos period, but Marineland makes me sick. I couldn't get into the warehouse to take pictures, but I'll describe it for you. Row upon row of cages, with a platform and a small pool each (nothing near as extravagant as the pool pictured here for the stars of their show!) for I would estimate 50 seals. Bars and bars and bars.

The Walruses can't see anything but walls. Nothing. I took those pictures from the roof. As soon as they saw me, they didn't take their sad little eyes off me, they tried to do tricks!!!! I had no fish, it was horrible.

But the dolphins, oh my God in Heaven, the sadness in their eyes actually made me cry. If I raised my camera, they would do flips and race around, again I had no fish.

This is HORRIBLE!!!! These poor kidnapped creatures!! Nothing to do, small tanks, dead food, it's DISGUSTING!

I'm going to try to get more pictures, the bears and the reindeer and the whales.The park is closed right now, so hopefu…

Hi my name is Annie and I love Jesus. Do you?
Jesus loves you and He doesn't want you to burn in Hell. Right now you are damned, unclean, your soul is a filthy rag and your future is doomed. Let Jesus into your heart and you will find eternal life.
Drugs are not you. Booze is not you. Gambling is not you. Sexual perversion is not you. Your spirit is you and your spirit belongs to God. Free yourself from the chains of the corruption of the flesh through the flesh and blood of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Amen and Have a Blessed Day!
